Godsend For Townsend

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Brian Townsend has enjoyed a full double-up to 205,000 courtesy of Peter Neff. The board read {10-Diamonds}

and Townsend was holding {6-Spades}

for the turned straight. Neff mucked, and is down to 235,000.

James Keys has been moving his short stack in like it's going out of style. He's shoved all in the last three pots in a row, taking down some valuable blinds and antes, much to the delight of his crowd of railbirds (whom we remember fondly from last year when Keys made the final table of this event) who shout "Keysey! Keysey! Keysey!" every time their boy rakes in some chips.

Roberto Machado Cripples Alexis Guimbal

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Two of our shortest stacks in the room just got their chips all in pre-flop against each other, Roberto Machado with {A-Clubs}

and Alexis Guimbal with {3-Hearts}

. The

board ensured a double-up for Machado, leaving Guimbal with only 15,000 in chips.

Devilfish Eliminated

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

All in preflop, it was a clinical affair for Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott with his {A-Clubs}

behind Toni Hiltunen's {K-Clubs}

all the way down to the bitter end of the {2-Spades}

board. The two shook hands, Devilfish wandered off and Hiltunen raked in a vast pot.

Moorman V. Lodden; Moorman Wins

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Another large and mysterious pot for Moorman. He raised to 7,000 preflop, and Johnny Lodden made it 21,000 from the small blind. An expressionless Moorman called.

Lodden bet out 35,000 on the {2-Diamonds}

flop and Moorman smooth called. Lodden then backed down and checked the {J-Diamonds}

turn, and then duly folded to Moorman's 57,000 bet.

Max Steinberg Eliminated

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jim Morrison-a-likey Max Steinberg raised to 6,000, and Brandon Adams to his left made it 20,000. Steinberg thought about for a while and then shoved the rest of his chips in, another 70,000 or so. Steinberg had pocket fives, but Adams had pocket queens. There was a five on the flop... but there was a queen too, and he's a goner.

Moorman Than Juanda Bargained For

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chris Moorman, resplendent in an eye-bending geometric yellow hoodie, raised to 7,000, only for John Juanda to reraise to 21,700. After what looked like some very complicated mental calculations, Moorman called.

They proceeded to a {9-Spades}
